I'm glad to see the short array syntax. Having strayed from PHP for a while to work on Ruby and JavaScript I'm really enjoying the ability to leave out semicolons in unambiguous end-of-line situations. Would love to see that make it into PHP at some point.
Big hitters: array dereferencing - $object->method()[$index] is now valid syntax built-in webserver via CLI - php -s - http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php traits and the insteadof operator - http://php.net/language.oop5.traits.php shortened array syntax - $array = [1, 2, [1, 2, 3], 4]; Finally removed register_globals ;) Default charset of UTF-8!

Good ol' Debian, on the other hand, might or might not get it in time for the Wheezy freeze. CentOS? Forgetaboutit.

I see a lot of mentions of zend in extension names, function names.. Could someone elaborate how Zend relates to PHP?

Now the question is, when will this become available in mainstream Linux distributions? I guess Arch et al. will get it pretty quickly, followed by Ubuntu 12.10 or maybe 13.04 depending on how many packages it affects.
